1. How horrible it will be for the arrogant drunks of Ephraim.Their glorious beauty is ⌊like⌋ a withered flower.They are at the entrance to a fertile valleywhere they lie drunk from wine.
2. The Lord has one who is strong and powerful.He is like a hailstorm, a destructive wind.He is like a thunderstorm, an overwhelming flood.He will throw them to the ground forcefully.
3. The arrogant drunks of Ephraim will be trampled underfoot.
4. Their glorious beauty is ⌊like⌋ a withered flower.They are at the entrance to a fertile valley.They will be like figs that ripened early.As soon as someone sees them,they will be taken and eaten.
5. When that day comes, the Lord of Armies will belike a glorious crown for his few remaining people.
6. He will give a spirit of justice to those who judge.He will give strength to those who defend the city gates in battle.
7. Priests and prophets stagger from wine and wobble from too much liquor.They stagger from too much liquorand become confused from too much wine.They wobble because of their liquor.They stagger when they see visions.They swerve as they judge.
